Develop. Design. Build. It’s not just the steps in the design-build process that set us apart. It’s how we overlap each step to make every project better. Founded in 1984, every project we’ve built has been fully integrated and we have revolutionized the design-build process every step of the way. Our building processes deliver solutions of the highest standard, and clients have trusted Clayco to handle their most complex construction projects for over 30 years.

Clayco has dramatically set new standards for collaborative design, construction quality and craftsmanship, efficient project management, cost containment and jobsite safety. With over $3.2+ billion in revenue for 2019 and more than 2,400 employees across the country, we are one of the nation’s largest privately-owned real estate, architecture, engineering, design-build and construction firms. Our people specialize in the “art and science of building,” providing fast-track, efficient solutions in North America for commercial, institutional, industrial and residential building projects. Year after year, we are ranked by Engineering News Record as a top design-builder and contractor.

AFFILIATE COMPANIES

Forum Studio (Clayco’s original architecture practice, created in 1999) merged with technology firm Bates in 2018, creating BatesForum. In June 2019, Clayco combined the design practices Lamar Johnson Collaborative and BatesForum to create an integrated practice staffed by more than 240 professionals. The integration with Clayco’s full-service approach to project delivery allows the entity, the Lamar Johnson Collaborative, to provide clients a full complement of services and remove inefficiency and risk from the design and development process, bolstered by BatesForum’s strong expertise in design-build, technology and healthcare.
